Want to grow your best flower, vegetable and herb garden ever in 2014? It all starts with a seed—and choosing the right varieties, from sources that match your garden conditions. Margaret will demystify the politics and the practical “aha’s” to get you growing with confidence.

After her slide talk, she will be joined by experts from Seed Library and Turtle Tree Seed in an open Q&A – so bring your questions and get access to their combined wisdom!
Go home with empowering handouts including a seed-starting calendar, succession-sowing schedules, and (of course) seeds from the marketplace set up all afternoon at the Grange.

All proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Friends of Taconic State Park. Thank you for helping us make this historic and natural treasure even more welcoming.

Welcome! I’m Margaret Roach, a leading garden writer for 25 years—at ‘Martha Stewart Living,’ ‘Newsday,’ and in three books. I host a public-radio podcast; I also lecture, plus hold tours at my 2.3-acre Hudson Valley (NY) Zone 5B garden, and always say no to chemicals and yes to great plants.
